Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I want to be pure in heart -- but I like to wear my purple dress.

If it is a woman's function to give, she must be replenished, too.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
And if flying, like a glass-bottomed bucket, can give you that vision, that seeing eye, which peers down on the still world below the choppy waves - it will always remain magic.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Nothing feeds the center of being so much as creative work.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Packing is chiefly planning -- if it is
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Not knowing how to feed the spirit, we try to muffle its demands in distraction...What matters is that one be for a time inwardly attentive.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
